Everything Is Not What It Seems

Fired Up

Leo POV
We barely made it out alive. At least, Piper and Jason barely did. Why is it, that they're older than me, but yet I'm saving them? Does that make any sense? Didn't think so. Anyways, Festus says he's taking us somewhere safe. I don't know where it is though, he never told me. I hear someone groan and immediately know it's Jason. I mean, he was the only one unconscious and he is right behind me. He tilts over and I feel Piper steady him. "Woah dude, chill out man." He looks around and asks, "where are we? How'd we get out?" I turn to look at him and see Pipes giving me a pointed look. "Leo will tell you." I nod and say, "later. I'll tell you later when we aren't flying on a giant dragon." He nods. Festus starts going down and I look at him confused. "What's wrong Festus?" He responds with, I'm landing. Low on gas. I nod and we go down. Once we land, Piper and I help Jason off. "What happened Leo? You said you'd tell me." I look at Piper and she says, "yeah Leo. Tell. Him" I look down. "Jason, what do you remember from the warehouse?" "I remember seeing fire and that was it." I sigh. "Where do you think the fire came from?" He shrugs. "I don't know. I thought it was from them. I'm wrong aren't I?" I nod. I feel my hands light on fire and I show Jason. "The fire came from me. I hate using it though because... I just hate it." He nods and says, "give me some time to process." I look down and nod. I look over to Piper and she walks over. For a second, I think she is going to slap me, until I feel myself being hugged. "You did good Leo. Now stop being so worried." I nod. She goes over to where Jason was and I walk over to Festus. "Alright boy, lets fill you up." He clicks and shoes in response. "I wonder how Stiles is?" I hear a chuckle from behind me. "I'm sure you do." I turn around but see no one. "Who's there?" I hear a chuckle. It sounds so raspy and hoarse. "Look down little one." I do and step back when I see a face in the ground. "Who are you?!" The face chuckles again. "I'm Gaia, but I'm sure you'd remember me in a different form." I've realized that the voice had changed into Aunt Rosa's voice. "I always thought she was ugly." Gaia let's out an angry yell. "Now listen here, I can easily tell your friends how your mother died. All I have to do, is put it in their dreams." I start steaming and say, "Shut. Up." She chuckles. "Don't get on my bad side little one." Gaia disappears. I yell out hit the ground where she was with fire continuously. I stop when I realize what I'm doing. Festus puts out the fire and I fall to my knees. I quickly stand back up and turn around. I put a smile back on my face and say, "let's fill you up Festus."
